March 11, 2008 (Computerworld) Intel Corp. today confirmed that it is close to unveiling a new line of solid-state drives for laptop and notebook PCs that will feature a storage capacity up to 160GB.

An Intel spokesman said that the chip maker will introduce 1.8-in. and 2.5-in. solid-state drives offering between 80GB and 160GB diskless storage during the second quarter of 2008. The spokesman declined to provide further details about the ship date or disclose the storage density of the drives.

Very cool news, it will be interesting to see what kind of price range they come in and if by then the solid state drive has become more of a mainstream way of providing the storage for a laptop. I’ve seen a few videos of ordinary laptops running Windows on a solid state drive and the performance increases were very impressive, do check out the article.
